This is pretty fucked up. I mean, I know *everything* is pretty fucked up, but -- a polite email leading to the Feds putting the weight of their metaphorical thumb down on you feels like another degree of awfulness ratcheting up.
Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.
His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful.
Now he is tweeting in support of me.
This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*.

We need to call it what it is: a president using government coercion to silence voices he doesn't agree with is authoritarianism, plain and simple.
It's the Orbán playbook, the Putin playbook, and now the Trump playbook. And it should alarm every American.
